News Groups :(

Oh news groups, we really have a love hate relationship.

Why do many people chose never to send a final correspondence to let the others in the discussion know how things turned out? It’s really frustrating to try to offer help and have no idea if you were useful.

Also, why isn’t Google Groups more like a forum and less like a minor update to an aging system?

First Annual Software Craftsmanship North America Conference I'm at SCNA today, and so far it's pretty great.

I've got simple 3 wire serial communication working with the TLC5628...
Steampunk Here I Come As my previous posts show, I've been working with an Arduino and some Nixie Tubes. Don't get me wrong, they're pretty cool, but they don't come close to IN-13 Bar Graphs. Yeah, neon tube bar graphs that glow orange, don't even try to deny the badass nature of these. Check...
Some Arduino Photos and a Better Film I gave a brief Lightning Talk today at work. It went well and the audience seemed genuinely interested and engaged. I've posted a 30 second youtube video of the device running on my desk and showing off a few of the commands over the serial port. A few people have...
Playing with the Arduino I might have mentioned previously that I recently bought an Arduino Duemilanove. It's pretty damn cool and I'm amazed at the amount of power you can get for such small price (and form factor). My first month or so was spent hooking it up to LED's and the Ethernet...
